Narayan Jagadeesan, the Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batter, has opened up about the impact of his former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) teammate Robin Uthappa on his career. Jagadeesan and Uthappa shared the CSK dressing room between 2020 and 2022, playing under MS Dhoni alongside Ravindra Jadeja.
Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Jagadeesan revealed how Uthappa influenced his approach as both a cricketer and an individual.
“Robin has instilled more discipline in me regarding how to approach each session,”
Jagadeesan said. “He has taught me many things, making me calm and secure, not just as a cricketer but as an individual, and to stay present.”
On the technical side, Jagadeesan credited his Tamil Nadu coaches for shaping his batting. “When it comes to batting, Guru sir [AG Guruswamy] and Narasimha [both coaches in Tamil Nadu] have helped me,” he added.
Jagadeesan also lived his father’s dream earlier this year when he was named a reserve player in India’s squad for the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval. Though he did not make the playing XI, being part of India’s thrilling six-run victory was a moment of pride for him.
“The India jersey is now going into the frame, and I hope to add many more,” he said. “Being part of such an intense and thrilling match made it even more special. Winning the game from an unexpected situation was truly remarkable and gave me goosebumps.”
Most recently, Jagadeesan represented Chepauk Super Gillies in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025. It turned out to be a mixed campaign for him. He scored 180 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 179.07, including two half-centuries.
